Manolo Gabbiadini Reveals Personal Reasons Which Led to Move to Southampton

A nostalgic Manolo Gabbiadini has revealed the reason why he decided to move to Southampton.

In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, the 25-year-old Italian has said: “There were other options but I wanted to come to the Premier League. Southampton is comfortable, you are close to London and from there I can go to Bologna with three flights a day."

Bologna may not be his birthplace, yet it still has a central role in his life: "I also thought about it when I moved here. I love Bologna. I played my first important season there and I met the girl who has now become my wife.”

Gabbiadini signed for Southampton after a struggling period with Serie A giants Napoli. Despite his suffered departure from the Italian outfit, he still holds a positive memory of his time in South Italy: “It was an important moment of my career. I was living in an amazing place, Posillipo, surrounded by amazing people and good friends.
